Lyrics for Ready, Able as interpreted by rainandrev

Ready, Able Lyrics
I’m gonna take a stab at this
Surely we’ll be alright
Make a decision with a kiss
Maybe I have frostbite
And when I shuffled on back home
I made sure all my tracks in the snow were gone
Tissue and bone it was a tryst
This isn’t a gunfight
Checking it off of my list
Unable to write
Five years, countless months and a loan

Hope I’m ready, able to make my own, good home

They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did,
They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did.

They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did,
They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did.

::vocalizing::

They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did,
They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did.

I’m going to take a stab at this
surely will be alright
make a decision with a kiss
baby I have false spite

and when I trek alone back home
I make sure that I trek in the snow
----

tissue and bones, it was a trick
this isn’t a gun fight
checking it off on my list
unable to rewrite

five years cast once, and far alone
hope I’m ready, able to make my own
goodbye

They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did,

This song is so beautiful. Their voices are so amazing, and their musician skills are almost that of fleet foxes, very talented.

I was first drawn to Two Weeks and While You Wait For the Others. But this song is by far my most favorite off the album. It is so ridiculously good, dare I say amazing! I am so pissed I missed them this past weekend.

This is song MEANINGS, right?

This song seems to me to be pretty clearly about guilt and cheating on someone you truly love.

The lines that make this the most clear:

"And when I shuffled on back home
I made sure all my tracks in the snow were gone"

"I want you to know what I did, I did"


The lines:
I’m gonna take a stab at this
Surely we’ll be alright
Make a decision with a kiss
Maybe I have frostbite

seem to suggest the decision to TELL the loved one about what was done, to come clean.
And, perhaps the ultimate meaning behind this song, the question of whether you have it in you to go through with it, to mend what's been broken:

"Hope I’m ready, able to make my own good home"

To me, this song's about suicide after being kicked out by his girlfriend 'cause he's been unfaithful.

"Hope I’m ready, able to make my own, good home"

It's definitely tryst, not trick. In context it makes perfect sense.
A tryst is an agreement, as between lovers, to meet at a certain time and place. Think about the lyrics. It is most surely tryst.

Also, I absolutely love this song. It's quite beautiful. Also, Foreground.
Anyways. Song Meanings! I agree with Torchie, for the most part. At first I didn't think about it like that, I read the lyrics and viewed as just a lover's song. But I understand what Torchie is saying, and I think that's an adequate interpretation.

When he says "checking it off" I used to think he said "jacking it off" haha.
